FWIW, which is absolutely nothing, from these pictures alone, I'm not 100% convinced Victor's gun was made by 'the' Auguste Francotte & Co.


If the Francotte trade mark is on the receiver, then indeed they made the gun. However, with the stamp only on the barrels it could be questionable. Francotte for a time, did source fitted tubes to other makers actions. Having said that, it is curious that the serial number coincides with the proof date stamp.
